There is a practical need in aeronautics as well as in other fields for the capability of calculating compressible turbulent separated flows. Although progress may have been made toward develop-ing a universal (multiequation) turbulence model for use in such calculations, that goal has not yet been achieved (see eg, Ref. 1 and references therein).
On the other hand, with current numerical methods and available computers, investigators appear to be capable of analyzing quite general three-dimensional separated flows, if a suitable turbulence model were in existence. Completely satisfactory methods for treating turbulence may not be available in the near future. In the meantime it seems worthwhile to continue the development of procedures for calculst-ing complicated flows based on simple empirical turbulence models.
